The Aexperience of the Organization and the Screening of Pregnant Women for the Purpose of Detecting Sexually Transmitted Infections, in the Framework of the Regional Program of the Tula Region

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have a negative impact on the reproductive health of women, complicate pregnancy, leading to ante ‐ and perinatal losses, worsen demographic situation. The greatest role in the development of complications due to STIs is given a chlamydial, gonococcal, Trichomonas, Mycoplasma, infections, which often lead to miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth, prenatal rupture of amniotic membranes, to the birth of a child with low birth weight, intrauterine infections, postnatal endometritis. Organization of massive screening of pregnant women for early STIs detection is a relevant problem of public health. The use of modern methods of molecular diagnostics with the use of multiprime research allows to examining the greatest number of pregnant women in a short time. Early STIs diagnosis in pregnant women, timely treatment of infected women provides an opportunity to prevent complications during preg nancy and neonatal period. In this study the analysis of the prevalence of chlamydia, gonorrhea, Trichomonas and Mycoplasma infection among pregnant women of the Tula region and the comparison the effectiveness of diagnosing gonorrhea and Trichomonas infections in microscopic and molecular‐biological research as a result of the screening in the framework of realization of the regional program were carried out.
